Friendships Lost

Hello Beautiful Thinkers,

As sad as it can be, it is fairly natural for friends to come and go from our lives. Very few friendships last then entirety of a person’s existence. Write a poem about a friendship that you’ve lost. How did it start? How did it end? Why is it worth remembering? Is there hope that it will one day begin again?

It was an old friend
who was never really one.
I remember 1974, wow
was it really that long ago?
He smiled at me and said
“You have the best legs of anyone
don’t ever hide them!”
And that’s why I kept him
as a friend, a bit of the past.
But then he showed his true colors
disrespectful, bigoted, angry.
I’ll keep the memory but
I can let him go now.
